The idea has been mentioned on numerous occasions on the board so since Im a little bored today, I thought I’d give it a go. Here is one album with songs from the last 3 albums. If Al were to make only one political album with only the best songs, here is what I think it should look like:
Playlist length: 1 hour 14 minutes 12 seconds
- Ministry - Fear (Is Big Business) (4:51)
- Ministry - Warp City (4:01)
- Ministry - Death & destruction (3:31)
- Ministry - Señor Peligro (3:39)
- Ministry - Life is good (4:15)
- Ministry - LiesLiesLies (5:16)
- Ministry - Waiting (5:02)
- Ministry - The last sucker (5:59)
- Ministry - Rio Grande Blood (4:24)
- Ministry - Worthless (4:09)
- Ministry - Watch yourself (5:28)
- Ministry - World (5:13)
- Ministry - Die in a crash (4:03)
- Ministry - The Great Satan (3:09)
- Ministry - No glory (3:41)
- Ministry - Khyber Pass (7:31)
So OK - these are not necessarily the ‘best’ tracks from the 3 albums and I had to leave out a few of my own personal favorites (Ass Clown, WKYJ, Palestina) but I thought these would go really well together for the album to be a political, fast thrash album, as the intention seems to have been for Al for the last 3 albums. I added a few of those more anthemic tracks in there as well, for good measure and to mix things up a bit. I’m not a DJ so I’m not terribly good at figuring out what tempos would go well together but I think the flow of this compilation is pretty good. Ever track leads into the next without sounding too jarring and the order is such that allows for the album to start fast and heavy and slowly evolve into more anthemic/varied stuff. I think Ill make an album cover for this after I’m sure I like this particular mix.
So which songs would you guys put on an album like this?
